President Trump’s comments about the terrorist attack in New York City yesterday were quickly on the radar of the unofficial reporter of The Resistance, CNN’s Jim Acosta:
After Vegas, Trump said he wanted to wait to have a conversation about gun control. After NYC, POTUS immediately pounced on immigration.

Acosta should proceed with caution though, because two sides can play that game:
Odd you had no such qualms when your network declared Jimmy Kimmel "America's Conscience" for pouncing on NRA / Las Vegas. Fun game isn't it https://t.co/BekcxsElVS

It’s unlikely the intrepid CNN WH reporter will look at it the other way around, or even consider that it might be an “apples” and “bananas” comparison:
Guns are inanimate objects. Bad people can exploit the immigration system. Every day is a chance to learn how life works. https://t.co/MpvTYkdDfp

Jim, If he didn't respond immediately, you would "pounce" on that. Like you and other liberals did for Romney.https://t.co/va0cn4hd00 https://t.co/95wNMNSqMQ

Remember when Acosta’s CNN colleague Chris Cillizza said that reporters don’t root for a side? Yeah, that’s still funny.
